  * Used to write messages to a message console. A message console may have more

  * are created via a {@link org.eclipse.ui.console.MessageConsole}.

  * Clients should avoid writing large amounts of output to this stream in the UI

  * hogs the UI thread writing output to the console, the console will not be able
  * to process the output.
